First time tent camping guide.

Here are the basics. In my opinion, the bare minimum.

  • Shelter
  • Food
  • Water – Always have water!
  • Air Mattress or Sleeping Pad
  • Pillows, Bedding or Sleeping Bags
  • Flashlight

You could get away with just the above list but the following items will give a more fulfilling tent camping experience.

Dining in the woods. Hot food and cold drinks are always the best way to go for you and your family.

  • Camping Grill or Campfire Grate
  • Cooler (Don’t forget the ice)

Comfort items.

  • Bug Repellent
  • Sunscreen
  • Camping Chair
  • Camping Lantern
  • Folding table if there are no tables provided.

These are just the bare basics to enjoy nature. There are more ways to have fun here.
